Walmart to shutter Portland locations just months after CEO’s warnings on crime

[JustinCharge 2,397]

as typical tho, if its an argument between HT and dogcows / timhauck / hawkeye21, just assume HT is correct.  That trio is like a sucking black hole of disinformation.

All I did was look to see if HT was correct in saying there are walmarts in NYC.  I checked, he was wrong.  I even provided an article explaining why he was wrong.

You just assume HT is correct though.

There is also Costco in NYC, in addition to wal mart and target.  Home Depot too. So there are plenty of big box retailers in NYC. Wal mart has a fulfillment center in the Bronx that delivers to NYC. 

Bump. I do love that Hawkeye decided to do some investigating. He just doesn’t know how to do it. You can even get groceries delivered in nyc from wal mart. You lose.

Seems to me that Wal-Mart does more harm than good to communities. In many areas, it puts local stores out of business.

I'm shocked Amazon hasn't put every brick and mortar store out of business.

I've walked into stores looking for something, only to see the price and think "damn, I can get that a lot cheaper on Amazon." Even for simple stuff like batteries or fish food. And it's delivered in less than 24 hours. Don't even have to get off the couch. At least with Walmart, ya still have to go get it.

Nowadays, ya don't even have to live in a populated area to get Amazon deliveries. My parents live in Butt-screw Florida and get stuff delivered to their house.

You just quoted yourself and said, "You lose."

I'm not sure what angle you're playing here but there is no physical walmart store in NYC.

I never said there was. Wal mart is in NYC, and you can purchase their goods there, even groceries.  To claim otherwise is wrong, so you are. Now that you’ve shown you like to investigate, let’s see you do it when it doesn’t involve me, centrist.

So they have eCommerce, not a store.  Everyone else was talking about store locations.

Show me. I said wal mart. Not a wal mart store. Is it a bit of a technical play? Yeah, I’ll cop to that. But the bigger point, which we were discussing, is about big box retailers.  And there are plenty in NYC. 

[RLLD 4,143]

Not sure they closed the stores due to crime specifically, though perhaps it was an influence and potentially the main influence.....but they announced months earlier that they would be looking at profitability and potential closures, which is how you do business.

The amount of influence the allowance for theft is part of this we will never know. 

But it does make sense, and when these stores close....where will criminals steal from? They will move on to other stores.  Now, if we see this as a trend then we can infer that liberal allowance for criminals to hurt good people is the thing in play.

I love how a thread about crime and violence in Portland most likely prompting Walmart to close ends up being an argument over whether there is a Walmart located inside the city limits of NYC.  Typical deflection.

You’re right, but I was just pushing back against the claim that NYC doesn’t have big box stores, that they don’t want or need them, when there are plenty to be found in NYC. My fault, I should have remembered who I was dealing with. I’ll try to be more vague in the future, before Hawkeye and hack pop a boner when it concerns me.

It is just easier to question something irreverent than admit that liberal leaders have allowed woke radicals to ruin a bunch of once great cities.

Correct. That is step 1.....

Should it arise that those stores ARE within the lines....then step 2 is "you cant prove it was because of crime"......

Should it arise that it is proven it was because of crime then step 3 is....those are just isolated places its not that big of a deal

Should it arise that more and more stores are closing then step 4 is.....this is racist....

We have seen step 1-3 here including the argument that Walmart is bad for small businesses.   You know what else is bad for small businesses?  Riots and looting.

Right you prove that its liberal policies leading to crime, leading to companies leaving, leading to loss of jobs and then they backpedal to ...."well this is good because small business can now flourish..."

It's always a sunny day in liberal fantasy land.....

..Until the next riot.

I remember the 2004 G8 here in Savannah.  5000 anarchist type protestors were expected but a few hundred showed up.  they had thousands in Europe the meeting before and lots of damage.   In Savannah they inundated the streets with security and national guard.  Small businesses closed up because they expected a lot of damage and violence but there was almost none.  There was a story how the anarchists were afraid of the local rednecks with guns so they stayed away but most of the credit at the time went to the overwhelming security.  They do not do that anymore.

Bingo. But only if it’s widespread according to some. And when it is widespread it’s only property.  And when the store closes down it’s ok, they put the smaller  stores out of business. But the smaller store won’t come back either. So you get food trucks and Amazon and wal mart deliveries. Way to think this one through libtards. You just made Amazon and wal mart richer.

Our resident idiot turned the fact that there are no Walmarts in NYC into talking about other big box stores and e-commerce.  Typical deflection.

But, my initial comment was that Walmart doesn't have many stores in urban cities to begin with, as it really isn't their target market.   And I did call out that crime can be a factor in "underperforming."

Honestly I'm not very familiar with Portland so not even sure if these stores are even really that "urban."  Googling them they're about 10-20 minutes from downtown so they might not even be.   

So just to be clear, the argument here is against the "liberal policies," not necessarily the liberal committing the crimes, correct?  I know we discussed this in a different thread but it seems the issue could be "organized crime," and not necessarily your everyday run of the mill crime.  Because it may not be "liberals" committing organized crime...

Correct.  I am from a section of PA where many friends and family are more liberal.   None of them would ever commit violence and all would support violent looters being locked up.  it is the liberal policies in big cities that allow violent people to go unchecked.  But too many liberal politicians turn a blind eye to these policies.

I did not read the entire thread but race has nothing to do with it.  Dirtbags of all races are looting their way through big cities that are soft on crime regardless of the race of the dirtbag, liberal D.A., Mayor, city counsel, chief of police etc .

First 2 were blamed primarily on rising food and labor costs.  Is there a lot of crime at the focking Cracker Barrel and Jewish deli?

The videos of the criminals at the clothing store weren’t who the GC righties thought they were.  Which is a point I made earlier in similar threads: if the issue is “organized” shoplifting, it may not be “libs” that are the problem.   This store was also in a mall and malls have been dying for decades.  She still has another store in Portland.
